It is the best cat shelter, the people who work there really take good care of all the cats. The Hermitage is the best spot to get a cat. 10 out of 10 would always recommend.

Kind and sensitive to situation. Helped out with two 9 week old kittens.
Advocating for animal rights and ending needless euthanasia of at-risk felines through protection, adoption, and sanctuary. We are both an adoption facility and a long-term sanctuary. The Hermitage No-Kill Cat Shelter has been a sanctuary for the abandoned and unwanted cats and kittens in Southern Arizona since 1965. We were founded as the Arizona Animal Anti-Cruelty League by Sister Theresa Seraphim, a Russian Orthodox nun from England. Sister Seraphim moved to Tucson in 1969 and lived at this location until she passed away in 1990. During her tenure at The Hermitage, Sister rescued not only cats, but chickens and guinea hens, peacocks, a handful of dogs and a donkey.
